Chelsea have signed 23-year old Spanish World Cup winner Juan Mata on a five-year-deal for a fee thought to be in the region of £26 million.

Mata told the Blues official website that it was the promise of a key role with Chelsea that convinced him to join the squad.

‘Villas-Boas wants Chelsea this season to play more attacking football, and said I would be a big part of that. He is someone who won almost everything last year with Porto and we are both here with the idea of winning lots this season’.

‘The plan is that I can play on either flank or even in the middle playing in between the lines of midfield and attack. I like to keep the ball and use it well, and above all I like to set up goals and score them’.
